The Smiling Lieutenant

It might have not been the best idea for dashing Austrian guardsman Niki von Preyn (Maurice Chevalier) to have openly flirted with cute violinist Franzi (Claudette Colbert) at a military review─as the dowdy Princess Anna (Miriam Hopkins) thought the wink was meant for her, and a shotgun wedding followed apace. Franzi steps in and coaches the frowzy royal in how to hold her disgruntled man in this saucy Lubitsch musical. Charles Ruggles, George Barbier co-star. 90 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
